What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with some visual assets and portions of the game's code. AI-assisted artwork includes the title background, dungeon environments, monsters, adventurers, and trap visuals. All such content was created before release and integrated as fixed game assets. Hearthdeep does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while the game is running.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assisted with several in-game visual asset types and code, so AI content ships to players. However, it's a fixed-asset, pre-release integration with no live generation, and the developer has only one game with no volume-release pattern. This points to supporting use rather than AI-driven production. Against: AI touches multiple asset categories (environments, monsters, characters, traps), which could push scope higher; but the game is unreleased with no evidence of low-effort volume. |
